July 10, 2012: Version 2.0 is nearing completion and will feature a diversity of Bayesian model selection methods, including marginal likelihood estimation methods (thermodynamic integration, generalized stepping-stone, and inflated density ratio) as well as two posterior predictive methods (Gelfand-Ghosh and Conditional Predictive Ordinates). Coding has been completed and we are currently testing the newer methods.
